Hello,
Now that my first trial with a led modification is almost finished and quite successful, I have two more lamps to mod but I hesitate between several solutions.
I have a Dive-Rite MR11 head (35mm inside diameter, switch on battery canister) and a Metalsub Halogen head.
For the MR11 head:
- a XML-U2 with a narrow beam optics (Gaggione LLS05 13°) and a big 18650 pack: 2S5P.
- a triple XML-U2 with a 19° optics and a 4S2P 18650 pack.
A Taskled B3Flex driver will be used and if I can I will build a plastic crown with a magnet inside to be able to emulate a switch (an ILS or hall sensor or a HallSW driver)
I can't put more than 10 18650 batteries in that canister.
For the Metalsub head (powered by a 12v 10Ah NiMh battery pack):
- a triple XML-U2 module with a wide beam to use it as a video lamp. Question is: will a buck driver be efficient?
- a 7 XML-U2 module with a diffuer to use it as a video lamp. A boost (HBflex) driver is mandatory).
I have a Metalsub HID24 primary lamp and I dive in quarries most of the time but I also do some cave diving.
So, what would be your choice?
